So I was putting my computer back together and put on 3/4 thumbscrews securing the side panels to the case with no issues. With the final thumb screw I didn't feel any kind of issue until the end, where it would just keep spinning in place. I know I was using the right thumbscrew, as I have been...
I agree that I'm being all over the place with this. I managed to get it to post, set everything to optimized defaults, and the system seems to boot up just fine. I'm running Prime95 for a few hours to see if anything snaps, then I'll report my results.
I'll try to track down another PSU to test this out. In the meantime I noticed a strange noise coming from my hard drive (hard to tell with how loud the GPU fan was). I disconnected the hard drive and it took about 15-20 seconds but eventually the computer posted every time. Do you think it's...
I tried that out and here is what I found. I was at the desktop, rebooted, went into the bios, and set the ACC settings back to normal, and rebooted. Everything went up fine, so I shut down, went to work, and came back.
When I turned on my computer I heard my video card cooler BLASTING at some...
I am having this really odd cold boot issue that has been happening to me recently. Essentially if I try to start up the computer from a completely off state I'll hear everything spin up and turn on for about 1-2 full seconds, then completely turn off--as if someone is behind the computer...
I've updated all items that have been sold. As for whatever is left I'll take any reasonable offer for all items in one bundle shipped, or single items, or any combination of items. I just need this stuff gone. :)
I just picked up the 24-pin extension yesterday from Frys (they're finally starting to get more cool stuff in) and I am actually really happy with it. It was pretty flexible for the most part and the quality of the sleeve and heatshrink was excellent. I didn't see any color showing through the...
Looking to clear this stuff out of my closet. I'll now take $10 for both fans shipped and I can also make a reasonable offer like this on the mouse, cooler, phone dock, headphone hook, or any combo of these items.
Up for sale is a bunch of random miscellaneous cooling hardware that is taking up space in my closet. All of it is gently used, in fantastic shape, and dirt cheap. Here we go:
First thing up for sale is an 80mm Enermax Magma fan. This goes for about $15 shipped. I am looking for $9 shipped...
I used to have the Z5500s and I actually liked them, but I didn't have the need for 6 total speakers and wanted to move to a stereo-only setup. I sold off the Z5500s and bought a pair of BX5As, which people said had a lot of bass.
Nope.
These speakers had NO bass at all. I figured as much...
These AMD chips are pure gold. I managed to get my 550 (which isn't as "good" as a 555) up to 3.4ghz on stock voltage with all 4 cores unlocked. I've been thinking about upping the voltage to shoot for that magic "4" but I'm not quite that ballsy yet.
Congrats on those chips, man. Stock they're...
Does anyone know if this button will fit the in bezel of PC-7 without any modification?

It was really random, honestly. I was just working and Windows Update had been bugging me about restarting for hours. Finally I restarted and then Windows told me to restart again, as new hardware had been detected. I checked and saw I was back at an X2, but only the ACC setting was reset.
I...
I have had my 550BE unlocked at 3.4ghz at stock voltage on a Gigabyte GA-MA790-UD4P now for a week and it's been rock stable. I did have one question, though:
The other day I had some Windows updates install (on Win7 Ultimate) and when I restarted the processor reverted to a dual-core. I went...
Up for sale is an Athlon 64 X2 5000 BE processor. I used this processor for about a year and it never gave me any problems. I ran it up to 3.0ghz for a little bit to see what it could overclock too, but I decided to just leave it at the stock 2.6 for the majority of its life. The processor works...
I have the Auralex Mopads for my set up and I like them. I could initially tell a difference in sound, as it seemed a bit more focused being isolated from the desk. My main reason for buying them, though, was because I wanted my speakers elevated and the Mopads offer 4 or 8 degrees of elevation...
I was also going to suggest a few volume knobs/attenuators that might do the trick in terms of size and price:
ATTY Passive Stereo Level Control
SM Pro Audio Nano Patch+
SM Pro Audio M-Patch 2
TC Electronic Pilot
These provide hardware volume adjustment and all seem to fit size and price...
I would wait for the Phenom II 555 to come out. It supposedly has less power consumption and better overclocking. Review sites are getting 3.8-4.0ghz on these processors with air cooling and no voltage increase, plus you can always attempt to unlock the other cores.
Quick question for you guys: I want to buy a Bulgin Vandal Switch for the power button on my Lian Li PC-7 Plus II but I want to know if any modifications are required to fit it in physically. I know that it'll fit the hole in the bezel just fine, but depth-wise will it clear without any...
Just ordered 2 2209WA's from Christa yesterday to replace my single 3007WFP-HC. It says my delivery date is a week from today, but I'm local (in Austin), so hopefully that's much sooner :)
Anyone have a good Ergotron suggestion for 2 2209WAs? I want something that doesn't clamp to the desk itself.
